How to connect a Ethernet cable to a TV

In this video I quickly show you how to connect your TV to your router using an Ethernet cable. This will work for any TV with an Ethernet port.
It does not matter too much which Ethernet cable you select. Most TVs have a 1000Mbps port so it is a waste of money buying an expensive cable. Cat5e is fine.
Below are some Amazon affiliate links to suitable cables. For each sale, the cost is the same for you but we receive a small commission. Thank you very much for your support!
1-meter Ethernet (Cat5e) - amzn.to/48uXlVE
2-meter Ethernet (Cat5e) - amzn.to/3tFOD8c
5-meter Ethernet (Cat5e) - amzn.to/3vfjrNE
10-meter Ethernet (Cat5e) - amzn.to/3RG2uDJ
15 - amzn.to/3NH0dH2 Ethernet (Cat5e) - amzn.to/4avv7Mi
20-meter Ethernet (Cat5e) - amzn.to/3ts7sMj
25-meter Ethernet (Cat5e) - amzn.to/3NH0dH2
Please let me know in the comments if you have any questions.
I know the green screen has been left in, this was intentional as the colouring wasn't great. We don't normally do this as you will see from some of our other vids.

My router is not near my smart TV can I ethernet cable the hard drive free view to the smart TV, has my Freeview recorder does not have Wi-Fi and is not possible for me to run a cable right from the Freeview hard drive to the router. Thanks for any comments

Hi does this mean ill get internet connection to say a fire stick that is connected to the tv as well or will i still need to relay on my temperamental WiFi connection

@home.network.solutions 17 күн бұрын

Hi, no the firestick is not related to the TV in that sense. You can buy an Ethernet adapter for your Firestick and hard wire that as well though.

I have ran an ethernet cable to my detached garage approx. 250 feet away from my house router. I would like to place a TV and a wireless security system in my garage as well. What would be your recommendation on how to provide a signal to both TV and security system?

@home.network.solutions Жыл бұрын

You need an Network switch. Type 5 port unmanaged gigabit network switch into Amazon. TP-Link or Netgear are example brands.

@@home.network.solutions My security system (SimpliSafe) does not have an ethernet connection, so that means I need a second router in my garage, connect?

Running 20mtrs of ethernet from my router in the house to TV in my pub shed. Still getting buffering for a few sconds every 30 seconds. On the back of the house router im getting a a green light and yellow light where its plugged in, but 2 green lights where the main ethernet connection is plugged in. Should i be getting 2 green lights. So fustrating, lease help.

@home.network.solutions 9 ай бұрын

The yellow likely signifies the TV has a 100mbps port (rather than gigabit) which is normal. If you are still getting buffering I would check the network settings on the TV to ensure the TV is using the cable and not the WiFi.

I only have hdmi connection on back of tv. Is there an adapter so I can connect from hdmi to Ethernet on modem?

@home.network.solutions 4 ай бұрын

No I’m afraid not. The HDMI is for video and audio input not data. If there is no Ethernet socket it may be a WiFi only TV.

I’m trying to get basic channels to work, do I need to pay for them to work when connecting like this?

@home.network.solutions 10 ай бұрын

This just connects your smart TV to the internet. In the UK if you want basic TV channels you can either stream them through their apps or you can connect the TV to an aerial and watch them that way.

Maybe dumb question- I have internet hooked up to each of my rooms with Ethernet cable coming out of the walls. Am I able to directly plug tv to wall Ethernet cable?? Or do I need a box?

@home.network.solutions 9 ай бұрын

You can use the wall cable provided it’s connected at the other end.

@brianflowers3031 6 ай бұрын

I’m trying to use the Ethernet port from the wall that’s connected to my router but the tv won’t detect the Ethernet port. I’ve tried connecting my laptop off the same Ethernet port off the wall and it works but it doesn’t on my tv Edit: I just got another tv the first tv was a 65inch tcl tv and it didn’t work off the wall port so now I connected my 80 inch Samsung tv and it doesn’t read the Ethernet port as well. I don’t know what to do. I know it works through my Xbox, ps5, and laptop I don’t know why the tvs don’t work

@home.network.solutions 6 ай бұрын

Could be that the Ethernet port needs enabling in the network settings of the TV. If it still doesn’t work check DHCP option is checked.

Check the settings in the TV you might need to tell it to use the Ethernet cable.

I’m afraid so, unless you run a long cable or have one professionally installed.

@tobuscusepicosite 4 ай бұрын

You could use a power line adapter. It would as slow as 100mbs. But that’s more then plenty of speed to watch 4k content.

Will that give you a better tv picture than just wifi?

If the WiFi signal is weak the it may give a better picture to hardwire the TV.

why use this instead of wi-fi?

Wi-fi should never be used for power hogs like smart tvs and PC engines. Wi-fi is and has always been designed for smaller and portable devices such as phones, laptops, tablets, smart watch etc.... if you are using wi-fi for your TV I suggest changing it to hardline. You will notice a quality difference almost immediately
